Separator conveying device and separator conveying method

摘要

A separator conveying device includes a columnar rotor that holds a continuously supplied separator material on an outer circumferential surface thereof; a cutting unit that cuts the separator material while the separator material is held on the outer circumferential surface of the columnar rotor into a separator with a predetermined shape; and a control unit configured to control a suction force in a slip region. The separator cut out by the cutting unit is conveyed by rotating the columnar rotor while maintaining a state where the separator is held on the outer circumferential surface of the columnar rotor. The outer circumferential surface of the columnar rotor is formed into a suction region where the separator material or the separator is sucked and the slip region where the suction force is switched between sucking and fixing the separator material, and slipping the separator material while sucking the separator material.

1. A separator conveying device comprising:
a columnar rotor that holds a separator material on an outer circumferential surface thereof, the separator material being continuously supplied thereto; a cutting unit that cuts the separator material in a state where the separator material is held on the outer circumferential surface of the columnar rotor, and cuts out a separator with a predetermined shape; and a control unit configured to control a suction force in a slip region, wherein the separator cut out by the cutting unit is conveyed by rotating the columnar rotor while maintaining a state where the separator is held on the outer circumferential surface of the columnar rotor, the outer circumferential surface of the columnar rotor is formed into a suction region where the separator material or the separator is sucked, and into the slip region where the suction force in the slip region is configured to be switched between a case of sucking and fixing the separator material and a case of slipping the separator material while sucking the separator material, the slip region being located more on a supply position side at which the separator material is supplied onto the outer circumferential surface than the suction region, the outer circumferential surface rotates relatively to the suction region and the slip region, the separator material is cut by the cutting unit between the suction region and the supply position, the cut out separator is sucked and conveyed on the suction region on the outer circumferential surface, the control unit controls the suction force in the slip region to be lower than a suction force in the suction region when the cut out separator is conveyed, thereby the cut separator material is slipped on the slip region with respect to the outer circumferential surface, and the supply of the separator material to the columnar rotor is stopped, and the control unit controls the suction force in the slip region to be equivalent to the suction force of the suction region when a rotation angle of the columnar rotor is a predetermined angle, thereby the supply of the separator material to the columnar rotor is started.
